Everybody loves burgers. Don’t tell me otherwise! I think it’s the real deal and there can never be enough burger recipes for me.

Only recently, I have my mind set on trying out Portobello Mushrooms. It’s true that this is the first time for me. So I was very excited and I’m sure you will also be excited to try this Tempeh Bacon Mushroom Portobello Burger.

It’s truly a premiere and you can expect a mouthwatering and modern addiction. The result is absolutely drool-worthy, juicy, meaty and will always be a hit. No jokes or false exceptions here, just real and approved vegan food made just for you.

How to prepare Portobello Mushrooms

Shall we start? Before we get into the kitchen, let me tell you something about Portobello mushrooms. There are different methods to prepare them: baking, frying, or grilling.

For this burger it does not matter for which method you decide. It will work, so no worries. One thing that is all methods have in common is that it is really important to properly clean the mushrooms. This includes removing the stem and scraping out the dark gills.

Please don’t forget that or the mushrooms will taste very bitter and earthy.

As I mentioned you can bake, fry, or grill Portobello Mushrooms. I used a grilling pan. Baking will take up to 20 minutes at 350°F. Frying or grilling in a pan will take about 6 minutes in total, 3 minutes for each side.

I prefer the method in a grilling pan, because it’s faster than the oven. So I can save time, but it’s totally up to you which method you prefer.

Easy done, quickly enjoyed

Enough said, let’s get going straight ahead. Of course, we first need to marinate the mushrooms. To prep the marinade mix tamari, garlic, salt, and paper in a small bowl.

Then use a pastry brush to coat the Portobello mushrooms and set them aside for a few minutes. Prepare the Tempeh Bacon during this time.

Heat a large grilling pan (or use any of the other methods I told you about above), and grill the mushrooms for 3 minutes each side, done. Now you’re ready for assembling the Tempeh Bacon Portobello Mushroom Burger.

This could seriously be a meat lover’s dream burger. Thanks to the Tempeh bacon, we have that salty, crispy flavor in a vegan and gluten free way.

More, the texture of Portobello mushrooms adds the meaty and juicy touch to it that is so similar to real meat. I can remember before vegan days the steak burgers topped with fried onions, bacon and real mayo. This one is no different!

This is the burger you can serve all your friends. No matter if they are a big meat advocate, vegan, veggie lover, or simply curious. It will do the trick.

After that they will be stunned and will enjoy the taste. My Tempeh Bacon Portobello Mushroom Burger just tastes as delicious as it looks.

Trust me, we have a big winner here.

I served this several times at a get together and even the pickiest meat lovers agreed, it was amazing. When you hear something like that you know this is meant to be a delight for all.
